Controversial General Political Discussion

Criminals rarely use legal weapons lol Ever heard of the black market?No background checks there lmfao

Criminals do, but civilians don’t. Legit all their mass shootings are done by civilians who easily got guns cause they can.

Yeah but you’re comparing a third world country (sorry) with laws which aren’t actually regulated, and a first world country which absolutely could regulate it if they wanted to.

But it’s just never going to happen anyways, they like it far too much 😂

Laws here ARE regulated and enforced. Have you seen Brazilians borders on a map and who we share land mass with? Its impossible to control drug and gun trafficking here.

Mass shootings are overblown. Only a couple of those have happened. There are NOT thousand of cases of mass shootings in the US. The big killer is gang violence.

The biggest ones being the Travel Ban/Muslim ban and the ban on the providing of critical training on race and sex discrimination on federal employee.

"muslim" ban wasnt an actual ban on muslims.

not sure about that second one

About 49% of mass shootigns are done with legal weapons. Lots of terrorists use knifes,hammers,vehicles and explosives made with chemicals that can be bought anywhere. So the solution is to ban those items?

Japan had their Prime Minister assassinated by a make shift/homemade gun, probably cuz he couldn't get access to an actual gun, people will make do with what they can.

Exactly.

When the government lost control over entire regions to organised crime because the criminals have better weapons that the actual police that's when you know you fcked up

The mass shooting problem in schools etc is a completely different topic. They aren't caused by access to guns but by severe structural problems in society. idk why some people don't want to see this. Banning guns is like taking drugs to numb the symptoms, not curing the illness

Exactly.

It's like telling a kid who thinks their right in every regard but totally misunderstandings it all and when you explain it, they get pissy.

Give me a few hundreds of AR and i shit you not that a can take on the largest favela in rio with my neighboors.

And why would you want to do that?

I don't like drug dealers.

I don't like drug dealers.

Something we have in common

And there are safe countries with low gun control and barely any shootings. And there are countries with strict gun control but lots of violent crime.
The connection guns=violence is not really a thing. I used to be very anti gun before I did my research. There's a lot of bias among Europeans and not nearly enough education on the topic

The US ain't a first world country period

Someone hacked Solis account. This many Ws aren't normal.

Overall, Trump's racist inclination is documented here

this is hot garbage

It’s the cops’ job to do so. Cops, hunters, and people who need them can still get guns once they do everything which is necessary by regulation. It’s really not that hard, it works.

Yup and the goal is to reduce crime rates, I’m glad you came to that conclusion as well.

Cops can't teleport themselves when a rapist breaks into your home,honey. YOU are the first barrier of protection. Self protection is the responsibility of the individual. The state provides PUBLIC protection. Cops aren't personal bodyguards that need to keep watch of you 24/7,because this isn't even possible.

This observations is related to the fact that we all live in a society where white people have more priviledges and are taught that their priviledges are more legitimate than those of racialized people. (more subtly of course)

i live in a country where the racist nationalists dont care whether the migrant has white skin or dark skin. they hate me just as much as they hate a black person just because im not german, despite me technically being "white".

What is it, cut and chopped edited footage and taken out of context stuff like usual from the MSM?

Learn portuguese and move away. Portugal needs young people.

All @Natalija Is calling for is more gun regulation. That fact that any random, potentially deranged dude can buy a gun, especially in today's culture where is everyone is a victim and should therefore be free from persecution, is asinine.

Lololol I'm not arguing that Brazil can do it, it can't. Mexico and Brazil are places that need a millennia of purging crime and growth before those countries can even consider that. But the US absolutely could.

Dumb argument, firearms account for the most common murder weapon obviously and it's considerably harder to murder in a different way. Even if you reduce the murder rate by 10%, you'd still be successful.

This is 2019, but you get the gist. If you round up the firearms, you get over 70%.

I'm not one of those people you get a gun, and you get a gun, and you too. I believe in regulations despite my pro-second Amendment mind-set. I think with proper training, this is a big one, idiot parents, leaving their guns out openly, where their unstable kids they raised can get them, proper background checks and I'm not against a good mental background check. I believe we have a mental issue problem, not a gun problem.

Pretty much yeah, gun education, discipline etc...

Yeah, it's really not difficult, everyone would be able to ask for gun permission, but they'd have to explain why they want one, get assessed mentally and physically etc.
